Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the feminine Form VII active participle مُنْخَنِقَة at 5:3. It occurs in a coordinated list of prohibited animal-death categories alongside carrion, blood, swine flesh, animals dedicated to another, animals killed by a blow, fall, goring, or predation, followed by an exception for what is properly slaughtered before death. This list position and exception establish an animal whose death results from constriction cutting off its breath rather than proper slaughter. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
